through mosques in London that were apparently clearinghouses

hmmmm...

[dennisw]

Mosques just ain't for prayer anymore. Now they are the staging areas for Jihad. A place to stash weapons as in Afgahnistan.

And in America.

This is NOT about islam. The president told me.

The key point in this artilce is IMHO.

There were converts to Islam, called "white moors." Others came from the underclass in the Middle East that found its solace in militant Islam. The leaders were often veterans of wars in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Chechnya. All were inconspicuous in the West, making it hard to identify them as potential terrorists. Some had completed university studies. Two had municipal jobs, and one was a community organizer

Clearly we as a nation need to be aware of the next attacks that will hit us. I really do not understnd the people who need to see a whole lot more American corpses in order to get serious.

Stay well Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

[Travis McGee]

Not only the "white moor" converts, but 2nd generation Brits and Yanks who have spent a "summer vacation in Europe" and really went to Afghanistan for terror camp.

These young American citizens could be shooting hoops in their driveway down your street, and hiding jars of anthrax in their garage, awaiting their orders to throw them on the subway tracks.

Thank you for the flag, and bump.
